Question about Equilizer Socket Bolts
Just did my first tow with my new Equilizer hitch over the 4th of July. Towed the trailer about 600 miles and was very pleased with the setup.
A question about the socket bolts though; I torqued them to 60 lbs before leaving on the trip. A few days later, when I went to hitch up, I noticed one of the sockets was very loose, such that you could easily move it back and forth with your hand.
Is this due to initial "break-in" of the sockets, or do they need to be torqued before leaving each time? Not a problem if they do as it only takes a few seconds to tighten them up. Other than that, I love the EQ hitch and it's night and day improvement over my old EZ Lift.
